It is slowed down by air resistance.
because feather's weight is negligible as compare to force of gravity
A feather will fall through the air more slowly than a brick because it is lighter than a brick and it's small fur on it will slow it down

A feather will fall through the air more slowly than a brick because of what?
gravity
A feather will fall through the air more slowly that a brick because of?
because of air resistance
A feather will fall to the ground more slowly than a brick because of what?
The resistance of the air.
A feather falls through the air more slowly than a brick because of?
If you dropped them in a vacuum, they would fall at the same rate. However, when you do it in air, the friction from the air will slow the feather considerably, as the surface area to mass is much greater then that of the brick.
Why does a feather falling through the air slower than a brick?
Wind resistance. In a vacuum, feathers and bricks fall at same speed.
What is the difference and mass between a feather and a brick?
a feather is light weight and a brick is heavy wight i know this because you hold a brick you may fall with it you hold a feather it light very light and you do not fall so the answer is THE BRICKS MASS IS LARGER THAN SHORT MASS OF A FEATHER SO BRICK IS HEAVER AND FEATHER IS LIGHTER. NO other way to prove it right so there your answer by makayla thx please vote good
Why paper will slowly fall but the coin will fall quickly?
Because the flat side of the paper is pushing all the air around it. It has nothing to do with their weights. If they were falling through a space with no air in it, a feather and a truck would fall together and hit bottom at the same time.
Why does the feather fall more slowly than a hammer do?
On Earth, a feather falls more slowly than a hammer due to air resistance. The feather is impeded more by the air than the bowling ball is. In a vacuum, such as outer space, there is no air and thus no air resistance. In this environment, all objects fall at the same rate, regardless of their shape or mass.
Do all objects not aided by the air fall to the ground at the same speed?
Yes all objects fall at the same speed but there are objects that are aided by the air that don't fall to the ground at the same speed. For example, a feather and a brick. A feather is a object that is aided by air. A brick is a object that wind cannot blow away. If I drop both of them down with the same time down a 100 feet building, then definitely the brick will totally reach the ground first ............ well and it will get crushed into pieces while the feather might be blown away into a different place and reach the ground last.:) :):):):):):):):):)
Why does a coin and a feather fall with different accelerations in the presence of air?
The structure of the feather makes it catch the air and fall more slowly than the coin. Refer to the related link for the Apollo 15 mission to the moon, which has no atmosphere, in which an astronaut drops a hammer and a feather at the same time.
If there is no air resistance does a feather still fall more slowly than an apple?
Yes it does. Because the apple is still heavier and will get more gravitional pull. And the feather will still weigh less.
